  • 30' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Adelaide United FC winning 100% of all matches.
  • 34' Adelaide United FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 34.
  • 36' The whistle greets Jordy Thomassen as he departs to be replaced by Nikola Mileusnic.
  • 41' It’s high time Warren Joyce made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 46' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Melbourne City FC that had 208 games and scored 386 goals.

  • 56' The 41-year-old Vince Lia has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 61' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
